Ash Trees Needed  

Researchers are continuing to evaluate insecticide options for emerald ash borer (EAB) control. To do this, they are in the search of ash (Fraxinus sp.) trees that can be used in their replicated plots. There should be a minimum of 35 trees in the same area and be of the same relative size. The preferred size should be between 6-12" DBH (diameter at breast height), and in an area with early EAB pressures. These requirements have lent themselves to utilizing street trees in past projects. If you have a potential site(s) or need additional information, please contact Amy Stone at stone.91@cfaes.osu.edu or at 419-578-6783 ext. 12.
